This morning
garbage trucks were
circling the flies, who were circling
each other.
The pond flows in around
and out
of itself; the molecules it takes as
its own are minerals of primordial
rain: Hot!
Orpheus is the model
that forged
the mold and the voice that sang
itself and gave life
to itself, in
the words, in its rhythms and
in its
beats, his voice stops a
mind, in its tracks: footprints
where missiles
fly,
walk in around out
of themselves.
